Tuesday: Active -or- Lazy

[SunnyGirl]

Active -or- Lazy

I am pretty equal on both sides of this chip.... I can be a very
active person, but it depends on the day, some days are just
busy or active days for me and others I declare my lazy day.

In recovery I score myself on the active side as I am always
reading a searching for more ways to become a better person
and find more peace and serenity in my life. I suppose I am
lazy as I don't go to f2f meetings, but I seem to get what I
need from the one meeting here at EOR. I work the steps and
try diligently to work on the defects in my character. My goal
is to become the best ME I can be.

I am active enough around the house to keep it tidy, but will
never win the "Good Housekeeping" award..... My floors are
clean, but you would never want to eat off them, of course
I'm not sure who would want to.

I am just not and never have been a "go getter"! I am always
looking for an easier way to simplify my life. Always running or
rushing around just doesn't get it for me.... Love the slogan
"Keep it Simple"!

Have a great Tuesday.... Hugs, SG

Having a little chuckle, could have written this 'before' I made the decision to go back to bed. Nothing done, none of my book read, and no desire to go out when the sun was playing games.

When I can, I am very active, depending on how you look at it. Looking for the good in the day, trying to do good for others and toward myself. I always say "I am the busiest person doing nothing I know."

I have always had an over-active imagination. Sometimes too active in the wrong direction. I have learned NOT to look at the worst case scenario because I have found that when I do, I draw the negative to me. When I am in the negative, it is hard to change it to a positive when living in fear.

In today, I try to be creative, instead of creating trouble. I try to stay in the moment. When I am in the moment, instead of projecting into the future or looking over my shoulder, I can just be, then do what is in front of me to be done. Instead of sitting there thinking about it, or looking athow I should do it or shouldn't do it and end up shoulding all over the place.

In the past, if chaos wasn't happening, I often looked at what I could do to rock the boat. It wasn't always with the best intentions and motives. In today, that has turned around. I don't have to look outside of myself, I don't have to look to other to do for me. Yet I have learned to ask for help when needed.

My father use to say I was born lazy. In today, I accept that some days, I have to rest a lot!

Smiling, was thinking of this today. I couldn't sleep, so got up and did some work. I did so much I tired myself out. I grabbed a quick nap before going to a NA meeting tonight.

Most times I get tired thinking of work.
